'Nigerian Woman Could Die If Deported From UK'

Doctors have warned that a woman who is facing deportation to Nigeria could die within a month if the Home Office goes ahead with plans to deport her from the UK, where her life expectancy is good.
Roseline Akhalu, 48, a Nigerian university graduate, travelled to the UK in 2004 on a Ford Foundation scholarship to do a masters degree in development studies at Leeds University.

Soon after arriving she was diagnosed with renal failure and began treatment the following year. In 2009 she had a successful kidney transplant but needs regular hospital check-ups and immunosuppressant drugs for the rest of her life.
The Home Office tried to deport her last month but her solicitor, Hani Zubeidi, launched judicial review proceedings, which are ongoing. The removal was halted pending the outcome of the legal action. She is currently detained in Yarl's Wood immigration removal centre in Bedfordshire.

Reliance, the UK Border Agency subcontractor, has launched an investigation into the way Mrs. Akhalu was treated en route to Yarl's Wood. She claims that she was refused permission to use the toilet despite her medical condition and despite the presence of a medic alongside the escorts in the van. Zubeidi has requested CCTV from the van but has not yet received it.

"If the Home Office send me back to Nigeria there is definitely no way I can survive," said Akhalu. "I'm a widow, with no children. I have very few family members and even if treatment was available in Nigeria I would have no means to pay for it.

"One part of your country - the NHS - gave me my life back. But now another part - the Home Office - wants to take my life away. I'm feeling very low and know that I'm approaching my death bed if they send me back."
Mrs. Akhalu is a prominent member of St Augustine's Catholic Church in Harehills, Leeds. She has the backing of both the Catholic and Anglican bishops of Leeds, as well as the city's Lord Mayor, the Rev Alan Taylor, and her MP, Greg Mulholland.

Mulholland and the bishop of Leeds, the Right Rev John R Packer, have written to the immigration minister Damian Green urging him to intervene in Mrs. Akhlau's case.Her doctors have tried to make contact with renal specialists in Nigeria to ask what treatment would be available for their patient but according to Zubeidi they have received no response.

"Roseline's consultants at St James's Hospital in Leeds have warned that if she is sent back to Nigeria where she cannot get appropriate treatment she could lose her renal transplant within one month, leading to premature death," said Zubeidi. "They say that if her transplant fails she will die."

Akhalu said the way she was treated by Reliance escorts after her arrest was "humiliating and degrading".
"Because of my medical condition I am not supposed to delay urinating. The Reliance escorts who were taking me to Yarl's Wood stopped in Manchester. I begged them to take me to the toilet when we stopped but they refused. Instead I was given a small plastic bag and told to urinate in that in the van instead."

A UKBA spokesperson said: "We do not routinely comment on individual cases. The UK Border Agency expects the highest standards of integrity and professionalism from contractors and will take action if these expectations are not met. As the escort agency is investigating this matter we cannot comment further."

In 2008, Ghanaian Ana Sumani, who had cancer, died after being forcibly deported to her home country by the Home Office. The medical journal the Lancet said of the case: "The UK has committed atrocious barbarism."

Re: 'Nigerian Woman Could Die If Deported From UK'

Her doctors have tried to make contact with renal specialists in Nigeria to ask what treatment would be available for their patient but according to Zubeidi they have received no response.

Do we still have renal specialist left in Naija. They've probably all checked out and even if there are, do they have the equipment to function effectively? Is renal failure not part of Yardy's ailment and he was shuttled back and forth German and Saudi till he finally gave up the ghost. If we had the facilities to treat him, will he be bundled from pillar to post as he was even when it was obvious his health couldn't take the shuttling.

That woman should fight her deportation tooth and nail if she is very ill o, because coming to Naija with it, is like a death sentence imho. She has been able to survive from 2004 till date because she is in a place where she has been able to receive proper medical care and attention.

Re: 'Nigerian Woman Could Die If Deported From UK'

And obasanjo dashed lawmakers billions of Naira to stay a third term and steal more billions
And they are sharing the national moi moi amongst themselves
We can't really fault these oyibo lands for deporting our people including the terminally sick
It is not their problem
Why should our problem and inability to get our act together be their problem?
They are not obliged to treat our sick out of their coffers are they?

Re: 'Nigerian Woman Could Die If Deported From UK'

2004 - eight years was ample time and should have provided enough opportunities to explore legit means of remaining in the UK! Renal failure is no picnic I agree but it should not form the basis for an immigration appeal particularly because it is a chronic disease that in this case has subsisted for eight years. She breached the terms of her scholarship to start with and I would like to know who has been paying her medical bills? British tax payers? The 'death sentence' was not handed out yesterday, so in my opinion, appealing to sentiments and sympathy having broken the law on a number of fronts is more than a bit hypocritical

On the flip side is the fact that Heaven is way more attractive than the UK, the way the catholic and Anglican churches tell it. And even if Nigeria would equate to hell on earth, there must be worse routes to heaven?

People think they can scare others when death is mentioned.
Like an Igbo adage goes,you cannot scare a seasoned ashawo with the size of the manhood (she has seen all sorts)
The official deciding her case may have just lost a loved one too and wondering if this case should be special
Like all those text messages from distant relatives at home, " make unu help me ,me and my children are dying,send me money,or do you want me to die"
It doesn't move me,do they know if I have eaten since today
That is just the reality of life
I feel for her sha but one person dies,life still goes on
That is just the sad reality in life

Mutti eight years to explore legitimizing her stay considering she stayed on illegally won't cut it. The system is getting harder and harder to beat by illegal immigrants lol and if she has been battling with the illness for as long as it is reported, that wouldn't have been top on her priority especially if her illegal status had not been an issue before.

From what I know of the system, she would have had to return to Naija first and apply to come back under some fresh arrangement in order to legitimize her stay. The other route would be stay illegally hoping that she won't be found out for 14 years or more before she can legitimize her stay which may be what she was hoping for. If you are there legitimately for say studies or a spouse to a legit migrant, then you can keep renewing so long as you can prove that the condition for the first issuance still subsist and after 10 years you can get a permanent status.

Thank you & God Bless you Mutti !

Exactly what was on my mind, until my computer packed up just few hours ago. (that is African internet connection)

I just can't believe the wasteful, counterproductive lives that so many Nigerian people choose to live.
How can a woman under 45 who made it legally into the UK and have since been staying there since 2004 find it unable to legalise her immigration status through other means up till now ?
No. The UK Government does not not owe her any assistance for treatment for chronic health conditions. I am sorry. Such an educated woman like her should have known better !

I wonder which inheritance or something to benefit from in Nigeria now that has held her back from getting married, even to any elderly Irish, Scottish, English or Welsh man in exchange for companionship over there in the UK ?
How can she be a (48yrs old) widow, childless and single and yet without any emphasis to find herself a partner for family making purposes or becoming a legal dependant to someone, as in her case now ?

Three years ago I also lost a friend (an Ijaw lady) and also a very dearest and special sister from another mother, in Holland. She passed away from a liver ailment. After suffering with the illness for over 13 years.
I am so shocked and saddened how come and why she remained unmarried for all these years, even after being an EU citizen now for over 19 years. Yet she could not just find any legitimate permanent companionship with any one ??? until she died at the age of 38.
Her only daughter from a tragic relationship with one very useless, callous and wicked Igbo man, now already a teenager and also enstranged from her biological dad when her mum passed away, was quickly put into care and is adopted now by a white family. What a shame ! and also her papers wasted.

I just keep asking people what is wrong with these our Nigerian people??? How can you be meeting people, making friends, going to church, parties...etc and yet you can't find someone good enough for you to marry and depend on in times of hardship or bad times. They are always surrounded by people and yet they all remain very unhelpful and useless in such situations.
Instead of making any meaningful relationship, rather they like to indulge in all sorts of "come & chop" hanky panky, perverse dating and casual relationships for eternity, even for many at the point of entering their graves, they die all alone without any worthy thing left behind, no meaningful relationship or any good impact to remember them for.

Re: 'Nigerian Woman Could Die If Deported From UK'

Reading this article, I seem to think there is something we do not know or we have not got the full story, Mutti and M.Akosa have really hit the nail on the head to be honest . However there just some parts of this story that is not clear 1. She has a transplant she is not on dialysis so what treatment is she talking about that she cannot get in neighbouring countries if Nigeria is that backward not to be able to meet her health needs which I strongly doubt anyway she will be able to get the treatment as in follow up appts in Nigeria. 2. if she is illegal how was she put on the transplant list and got the transplant?. I know for a fact Border force are more careful than to let a kidney patient suffer while under their care and watch. 3 All her co-mordbities/ pre existing conditions would of been taken into account. Not to repeat what has been said above why did she not file for papers under the terms of medical issues all these years. She says she is a widow with no kids, where was her husband was he with her in the UK? did he die here or in Nigeria? .
As Nigerians we have excellent ways of putting on the dramatics how I wish we could better our health system with drama we would be one of the leading countries with our health since we do lay it on really thick with theatricals with "poor oh me" sorry I do not mean to sound heartless I just feel she really is over dramatising the case.

Transplant patients are not supposed got be on dialysis
That is the whole essence of getting a transplant,there are follow ups for life after transplants because the complications,short and long term are a legion.Nigeria cannot provide that
Which neighbouring countries?
Mali,chad,Cotonou as in Dahomey or Niger Republic and Cameroon
Wll she pay her way there with sand assuming the help is available over there.
Her best bet is to be in the UK no doubt about that whatsoever
If the UK can grant her stay on humanitarian grounds,good
Asking how her husband died,where and when is of no consequence
What does that change?

Re: 'Nigerian Woman Could Die If Deported From UK'

Makosa the woman has been battling a chronic kidney disease and had a transplant
If you were in her shoes,marriage would be the least of your problems.

Hehehehehe
Vintage makosa
Well they said Edo men dey reign now for Naija
For some of us e don late
Let us manage what we gat

Oh No !

Battling chronic illness did not stop her from posing as a post-graduate student to enter the UK on visa ?
Battling chronic illness also caused her amnesia towards seeking other means of staying legal in the UK ?

That same sorts of chronic illness did not stop that my friend from living with one yoruba boy, until she died. And this poor young man took great care of her for over 5 years, and yet she did not marry him ?
Even, when she could have adopted children from Africa, like I know so many Ghana women in Holland do once they become citizens. But as for the naija people. Tufiakwa !!!

This my deceased girlfriend was never without a man involved in her life for one single day of all her adult life that I knew her, yet all those relationships are just totally meaningless ! naija style... of course.
I can count up to 3 close friends Nigerian friends in the last 10 years that have passed in the Diasporas, and yet all of them for no clear reasons just lived a wasted short life; and remained single of course.
Actually, the one from Anambra left over 200,000 Euros cash, not properties...oh behind in the hands of "friends" and "family members". And yet, today no single one even remembers where his grave stone is laying in Amsterdam today.
Very narrow, small minded and devilish naija people and the very wicked legacies that they leave behind !

I am sorry FL, every relationship is management ! OK. Please don't go there.
There is no moment for perfections. You can never ever have it all !
Just try and please make sure that you do the rights, the short time when are on this earth.

my dear sister this life is complicated I tell ya
The sad aspect of the stories you told is not even the marrying or not marrying ,managing or not managing,but young people falling ill and dying just like that
Life is unfair
Why should IBB and OBJ with orji uzor Kalu and all other crooks wake up and breathe fresh air and young people they stole from are just quenching left right and center
Why can't the death that will kill one young person go and snuff off the lives of these crooks all over Nigeria and free us
Let me not digress again before they will say that FL has come again with her rikichi

Why? because these thieves can look after themselves for as long as is humanly possible with the stolen money. That is why. If that woman can afford it, will she be fighting deportation in UK like she is doing now? No she will either be there or elsewhere paying for top quality care her money can buy.

Yes. Echidi... ime.
But you must also apply your thinking facilties always to do the right things at the right time. Western immigration officials always check and wonder what you are up to with your time or doing during your stay in their country ? Given that she has had ample opportunities to legalise her stay in the UK through other means, all this while she has been staying there, also being single and alone. What is her problem with finding someone / something to support her or become dependant on that instead, other than resorting to an illegal recourse to public funds in the UK ???

Just think about it, what will happen if every visitor and student that comes along to the UK, all of a sudden start claiming by the following day, upon arrival that they are sick and unable to return again to their home country ?

Yes compassion can work well in this case here, but not with the absence of enough good reasons. Otherwise it amounts to fraud.

M. Akosa,

With the greatest respect to you, I suspect you have slightly over exaggerated the story about your Anambra friend. No Anambra person will have €200,000 and be buried in Amsterdam, the first thing an Anambra person will do is make provision for their body to be repatriated back to their village.

All his family members flew in from the UK & Nigeria respectively for his burial in 1995. They refused to take him home.
The gold casket alone cost a huge fortune.
He is resting somewhere today near Zandvoort, near Amsterdam.
Totally forgotten by every one now.

My best friend and big brother he was indeed.
A.O may your gentle soul rest in peace. Amen !!!

Re: 'Nigerian Woman Could Die If Deported From UK'

There are so many holes in her story and I find it very difficult sympathising with blatant liars, so for once I may not express an opinion.

Re: 'Nigerian Woman Could Die If Deported From UK'

This is a tough case. But as the woman seems to be doing, she needs to apply for a stay of action based on humanitarian grounds. I do not know how immigration works in the UK, but it appears she entered the UK legally, so she should have made sure / secure her status as she was battling the ailments. But again I am not sure how things work in the UK.

I think its is clear if the ailments are indeed true and she goes back to Nigeria, that will likely be the end. As has been mentioned a transplant person needs constant monitoring and frequent medical checks. Even if we have the facilities in Nigeria chances are the medication et al might be prohibitively expensive. So I hope she gets a stay on humanitarian basis.

Tomorrow somebody will come to NVS and start arguing with me about their human rights...

Re: 'Nigerian Woman Could Die If Deported From UK'

At least she has a valid point,una don forget the one in Spain that said they would force her to marry an old Muslim in her native Delta or Edo State because of sharia and the catholic diocese took over her case fighting for her to remain
How about the mother of quads that wanted to stay in the uk and we later found out her husband was a multi millionaire

Look especially at the hospital images. The one with a small ex-paint bucket on the bed is the most pathetic. Even the guy with an IV still has on the clothes he was rushed into the ER with.
I know many of us on this forum are medical workers. (MD, RN, LVN, etc) Can you honestly in your mind compare it to hospitals in the West where you work?
Let the sick woman stay in the UK joor!

bdw, can you imagine Oyinbo trying to force us out of their land? shebi we were on our own when they invaded us and stayed for almost a century. Who invited them?
IMHO, England, France, etc (other colonial powers) should not be chasing people away, especially from their former colonies.
I bet they now understand how it feels to occupy another person's land and resources. mtchew!

What is the value of more than half a million USD ?
Or was it Gulders then ?
that amount in today's money.

The point is that the guy was a very "hardworking" young man. But today, there is nothing left, good or worthy for use to remember him during the short time he lived on this earth.
I personally know some money couriers who were regularly at his service, some made away with several thousands of dollars at the news of his (death) cold blood murder.
Oops... sorry BC, do we use the Euro currency now ?

Re: 'Nigerian Woman Could Die If Deported From UK'

Reliance, the UK Border Agency subcontractor, has launched an investigation into the way Mrs. Akhalu was treated en route to Yarl's Wood. She claims that she was refused permission to use the toilet despite her medical condition and despite the presence of a medic alongside the escorts in the van. Zubeidi has requested CCTV from the van but has not yet received it.

Mrs. Akhalu is a prominent member of St Augustine's Catholic Church in Harehills, Leeds. She has the backing of both the Catholic and Anglican bishops of Leeds, as well as the city's Lord Mayor, the Rev Alan Taylor, and her MP, Greg Mulholland

She's likely to win......she's got a good counsel and also the right support....

She should be allowed to stay on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.....part of reparation owed Africans anywaz.....
